You can record data coming to the LCD panel or record the TV screen by a camera. With just degraded quality. On the other hand, I can't even take a screenshot of DRM-protected content on Android which can be very annoying sometimes.

Currently the workaround seems to be /etc/hosts override or firewall-level blocking. Just a small reminder that this can soon stop working: Apple's apps bypass firewalls like LittleSnitch and LuLu on macOS Big Sur - https:&#

Also good luck recovering data from a watter-damaged laptop. I have also seen some macbooks with broken SSD on eBay, sold for cheap. Soldered SSD is a ticking timebomb for your data.

It could be done but companies rather want you to buy a complete computer again and again. Same with cars. That way they sell more stuff and earn more. With proper environmental marketing tricks like the recent one with chargers and recycli

It looks like a lot of this mess started with Swift introduction. While Swift is cool and everything, it causes lots of confusion. Not only that documentation is not in sync but also many existing training materials ate in ObjC, there is le

I have Librem pre-ordered but I expect it will be barely usable as an Android replacement (yet). Though it had to start somewhere and I am glad Purism started that. There are many many smaller and bigger things which went into Android or iO

Until HW decryption is cracked, there may just be more camera-captured content or content recorded from modded display panels. If they want to prevent copying their content, why they are even publishing it? They can keep it for themselves.

If such a big company is priced so low it may signal an opportunity. It is similar with GE now. But there is always the risk of its price continuing down. AMD could have failed to deliver better products and continued to struggle. You won t
